Have seen bioluminescent waters around SG? Here are the culprits: Noctiluca scintillans, a heterotrophic dinoflagellate (like us, need to eat) and its symbiont Pedinomonas noctilucae, a chlorophyta algae. Second time we are recoding this bloom in SG! 🤩🧵👇

This week a Buzzfeed article described multiple instances of sexual misconduct at STRI over many years. I stand by the brave women who came forward to tell their stories, and thereby expose the magnitude of the problem and the need for systemic change. 1/10
